Artwork Description

'Peonies and roses' is the 4th and final painting in the series titled Ephemeral Beauty.
This series is an exploration around the theme of transient beauty.
An attempt to capture both a moment of exuberant beauty - and slow decline.
The work draws upon the influences of the Dutch floral masters
and the foreboding darkness and drama of Caravaggio.

“Buying art on Bluethumb is a failsafe experience. I have bought several pieces, they have arrived quickly and true to the pictures/description. As can occasionally happen when transporting a fragile item, one piece arrived with broken glass and Bluethumb did not hesitate to offer to pay for replacement. Communication with artists during transactions has been quick and helpful. ”

“I had contacted Alicia Rogerson (via bluethumb.com.au) because she had done a painting that I liked called "Wonderful Inspiration" - which was of a beautiful young woman with a very inspirational message written into the artwork. I work as a Kinesiologist and I love having art in my clinic room. I contacted Alicia stating that if she could do a matching image with a young male, I would buy "Wonderful Inspiration" and commission her for its twin. Alicia was great at communicating all through the process. Sending me preliminary designs. And thankfully she was understanding when my (mild) OCD kicked in around dimensions. I am really happy with the final design and cannot wait to get it framed and hung up in my clinic room”
